Pros

As our senior leadership says time and again, the true North of the company is its employees, and it shows.

Intuit truly cares about its employees first, and that reflects in so many of the employee-friendly policies and perks that the employees get.

Also, the company believes in self-disruption and refresh at regular intervals, which has kept Intuit ahead of the game compared to many of its rivals.

The next 5-year roadmap and its execution have been one of the most exciting journeys for me.

Cons

There are too many barriers between different teams and business units. It's very difficult to succeed here solely on the basis of your tech credentials, especially at senior positions. A lot of time is spent breaking barriers and influencing different stakeholders.

Another drawback is that most of the managers are just people managers and do not contribute very effectively in technology decisions. Coming from my previous company, this was a bit of a letdown because engineering managers should be highly technical and should at the very minimum do things like code reviews and drive engineering and operational excellence through personal contributions.

Advice to Management

One of the best senior leadership I have ever seen! The desire and drive to disrupt and innovate is exceptional. No wonder the company has been doing so great even after so many years.
